Thread: Can you visit someone else's dreams?

The only way you can truly believe it is if you experience it yourself. Even if science proves it to you, you'll still be wanting to try it out before you go around telling everyone about it.

I call him Gimpy because of it, and that limp helps identify him. He seems to like entering the dreams of DV members, and assuming the role of a Jason-esque, relentless horror movie monster.

Speaking of which, have there been any Gimpy sightings lately? I haven't been very active around here of late.

You can recognize him
-by his limp
-his preference for relentless stalker/monster roles
-His ability ignore attacks against him, making him almost invincible
-He uses the threat of an attack more often than he actually attacks, dragging it out in a dramatic manner to completely capture your attention.

Yeah, I think so. He was Tooth in my dreams long ago, if it's the same person.

Weird that you should appear here, especially since I recently dreamed of you.

On another note: Anyone notice the "skeptics" don't have DJ's? Hmm...

Shoot. Now that you mention it, the psycho killer in my razorblade dream the other night had a limp.

I think a quick review will demonstrate just how "skeptical" most of BD is.
Which was my point.

If the OP discovers the same people that believe its possible to share dreams have minds so open that, like a bit old bin any old rubbish can fall into them, you might question the reliability of their opinions.

What's BD?

Prove that it is? Well, it's not proof since it is only my words, but I have experienced it, and so have many others in DV, ask Nomad.

If you're so bored of this topic, why bother posting?

Why not use your time to instead actually start your own dream journal?

I have to agree slightly with moonshine, people really should stop posting that.
Although shared dreaming is not a lie.

It stands for Beyond Dreaming which is the section this is in

Agreed, jumping into a thread just to say no it's not possible isn't helping the OP in anyway.

Well, if people aren't allowed to ask questions, what is a forum used for then? True, this question is asked a lot though which is why I am surprised that the search function didn't generate any results.

I have to say it is possible...mostly due to me messing around with my wife while she's sleeping.
Unfortunately the poster stated they are 15 so I won't go into great detail but I have seen obvious physical involuntary responses to my unspoken "suggestions" while I watch her sleep.
I also get reports on how interesting her dreams are that line up perfectly with what I suggest.

I basically steer her dreams imagining myself into them even though I am awake.

we're not playing chess but hey at least we connect on some base physical level

Keep in mind we've shared our lives for 18 years, and spend all our time together, if anyone could make that connection it's us.

Interesting, you get into her dream while you are awake, never thought of that. I think the OP meant while both of you are dreaming, but I guess that workds too

After reading cusps hundreds of descriptions of his EVIL DREAM NEMESIS someone eventually conjours up someone that fits the description.

Wow. Gosh. 100% Proof.


I once dreamt of freddy kruger. Guess that means he's actually real too.

Sigh.

HEEEEEEEEEEEELP. QUICK. GIMPYs escaped the dream realm.

I have a dream Journal. It sits by my bed and I fill it in with a Pen.

Though it is an interesting correlation. Could it be skeptics simply don't feel the need to seek validation by fabricating tales about their SUPERNATURAL DREAMING SKILLZ on the internet?

That is just you being silly. Shared dreams are not a replacement for DCs.

Who's 'EVIL DREAM NEMESIS'?
Someone, who is that someone?
Another someone?
Description? what description?

Could you be more descriptive? I don't know if it is just me, but I can't understand anything of what you are trying to say. It would be helpful if you were more specific

That just made me laugh, but, seriously, if you don't believe in shared dreaming, that's fine, but, until you have some proof to say that it's not possible, then your criticism of the subject is unfounded. We only have people's experiences to go by when trying to prove whether dream sharing is possible or not and while that's not definite proof, at least they are trying to prove it one way or another

Thats true.
Do you really think all of these people are in on a massive lie? I for one just don't have the time to do that, nor the motive.

Don't feed the troll.

I don't know what all the arguing is about.
Clearly, further investigation is needed the determine whether shared dreaming is a myth or not. Let's all be a little openminded, shall we? Rather then saying; 'It is definatelly not possible!'. After all, we obviously don't know enough about it to determine whether it is in fact true or false...

For some of us, not necessarily for me (Though, I do believe it is possible), it is definitely true.

AndresLD, I got into a shared dream with nomad , while I was awake, Nomad went to have a nap and I told him I'd be there, it actually worked, but I lost controll of what I was doing there. Anything is posible lol. And anyways, moonshine is spamming this topic, so lets ignore.

Something about bagels, wasn't it?

Ha!

Didn't think it needed saying but anyone who hits over 1000 posts and has only one thanks should have their name and avatar changed automatically to Troll#

But nobody gets Troll1

They'd just be proud of that!

Quite true. There was a time, untill quite recently in fact, that most scientists took a "moonshine view" on lucid dreaming.

Another Tired old BD favourite. Just another smoke screen which does little to disguise an absolute lack of evidence.

Lets not pretend that "Science isn't interested".
Like OBEs, dream sharing should be a very easy one to prove.
Yet, its just not happened.

Erm yes it does.
The OP asked a simple question.
I've given a simple answer.

Or does my opinion not count because I'm not inspired by manga and still at school?

Buzzysbaby, the original poster, was an active member for less than a week.
And that was in 2008.
